October 9, 201411 yr Author theyve been relentless up here, plus they have a campaign shop on the high street. a labour mon called Toby?
October 9, 201411 yr I was gonna watch it but they reckon it may be 2.30am for the result. It'll be a great buzz for the chap who's defected from the Tories to take his voters with him and win
October 10, 201411 yr Result expected by 1.30, mate Might get back up to watch. They say a 36% turn out and expect a labour win In the Rochdale area, I'm more interested in what happens with the defecter, if he wins it could cause a few more Traf
October 10, 201411 yr UKIP battered Clacton 21,000 to Tory 8,700 and Lab 3,900. 51% turnout with a 44% swing to UKIP. Their share of the vote was up 60%. Oh, and Traf you owe me a hours sleep Edited October 10, 201411 yr by Breightmet Boy
October 10, 201411 yr Very close in Heywood. I still think Labour next year, but if that swing is repeated, then it could be any type of coalition
October 10, 201411 yr he is on sky news now NIGEL he is saying what people think and want you can tell he has had major addvice since may just needs some decent english polple to stand as MPs now
October 10, 201411 yr he is on sky news now NIGEL he is saying what people think and want you can tell he has had major addvice since may just needs some decent english polple to stand as MPs now I'm sure you wrote the script for Allo Allo. Polple absolutely brilliant????
October 10, 201411 yr Every MP of every party is only in it for what they can get out of it themselves - self important tossbags. That witch in Middleton or Rochdale or wherever it is spouting off about 'thrashing' UKIP with its tory values by 600 votes in a 36% turnout, you are really popular there love, well done
October 10, 201411 yr I don't think it really counts when you are voting for the same bloke, he just happens to have switched parties. Especially when there's an election coming up.
October 10, 201411 yr Clacton is a fucking dive. Businesses are bying left right and centre. A lot of those that do survive only do so by employing poles, Lithuanians etc on lower wages. Its no wonder groups like ukip thrive in these forgotten towns.

Its no wonder groups like ukip thrive in these forgotten towns. Hence why Labour have got a massive shock around the corner - I bet UKIP take at least one safeish Labour seat come May. This crowd of shite under Miliband are criminally complacent about the working class vote, don't know the first thing about the working class and are woefully unprepared to do anything about it departing them in places where UKIP put up a decent show.
October 10, 201411 yr clacton is described on wiki as a proper tory seat - dunno if thats true or not it has no history as such as the constituency was only created for 2010 lots of retired folk, no immigrants and a sitting tory MP fwiw, i agree UKIP are a bigger danger to the reds than the tories but clacton isnt a labour seat

October 10, 201411 yr no IMMIGRANTS no fucking wonder have you been not even they would live there Not many muslamic types but full of eastern European workers

October 10, 201411 yr You think Clacton is bad, look at neighbouring Jaywick, fuck me it makes Morecambe look like Monaco! but it is within the Clacton constituency.
October 10, 201411 yr fwiw, i agree UKIP are a bigger danger to the reds than the tories but clacton isnt a labour seat I disagree, the only chance Labour have is UKIP splitting the right wing vote and/or nicking enough seats from the Tories for them to creep in.
October 10, 201411 yr I disagree, the only chance Labour have is UKIP splitting the right wing vote and/or nicking enough seats from the Tories for them to creep in. He's reet. Surely everyone can agree that the last thing anyone wants to sleepwalk into is Prime Minister Edward Miliband. The pragmatists of UKIP and the Conservatives should be talking about seats where one or the other will step aside and avoid splitting the anti Labour vote. It is a neat soundbite but in a lot of constituencies it is true - vote UKIP, get Labour. If ever there was an election to think rationally and unemotionally about the best tactical vote and leave all party loyalty aside, this would be it.
